Science Museum, Science museum in Santa Margarita Park, A Coruña, Spain
This science museum in A Coruña spreads across three floors with interactive areas about physics, technology, and natural sciences. A modern planetarium with a dome-shaped projection surface tops the building and displays astronomical phenomena.
The building was founded in 1983 and forms the foundation for the network of science museums in A Coruña. The facility marked a turning point in scientific education in northern Spain.
The museum promotes scientific understanding through exhibitions and events where visitors discover current research findings and natural phenomena. The spaces are designed to encourage learning and convey scientific topics in accessible ways.
The museum sits in a park and is easily reached on foot; a typical visit takes two to three hours. It is wise to allow enough time for the planetarium since shows run at set times.
The planetarium here ranks among Spain's oldest and uses projection technology to display celestial bodies and events on the inner dome. This special technique lets visitors view stars and planets from the inside looking out.
